Number 6 remington
« on: November 23, 2020, 02:37:15 PM »
I was at a gun shop near where I hunt, and saw in their case, a number 6, in pretty good shape, for $1500! Now I understand pricing for antiques, and the times are strange, but I never thought I'd see one of those for that! That said, it makes me tempted to list my #6.......nah!

I have a number 6 was handed down to me by my uncle who help raise me and I would not take 10,000 for it that being said I see them at gun shows from time to time and for one in nice condition they ask around $450.

I have to admit, it is a sweet little rifle. I bought it because I wanted something reminiscent of the Stevens crackshot my dad had when I was a kid.

 I seen 2 of them today for sale at a gun show I attended, one was in “good” original condition and the other had been reblued and the stocks refinished.  Both were priced at $ 300 . They look like nice young boys rifles but boy are they ever lightly constructed. I don’t think when they were built that 22 rf had the same pressure as most of today’s  Hi Speed ammo and wouldn’t think they would stay tight long shooting modern ammo in them ? They are unique being made with “ sandwich “ construction, a center spacer and two outer metal plates riveted together.

Mine has the original rear flip up sight.  I would have to look it up but I know I didn't pay that for it.  Mine is in very good or better condition.

I got intrigued with the Remington Model 6 Improved and picked one up for under a hundred dollars several years ago. Cleaned the rust off it and the action and bore were good and tight. I'm still messing with the stock to fix it so it works right. What I like about it is that you can't load it if it is possible to fire it. That seems to be the "improved" part. Really safe even for an excited kid.
